Ji Ling widened her eyes, laughed, and looked at Ji Hua with a dumbfounded expression, "Why didn't it take you away!"
Being swept away by a tornado? Not even thinking before lying!
Although Ji Ling was joking, Ji Hua still felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"If Miss Xia hadn't appeared in time to warn me, it really would have taken me away," Ji Hua said, looking more serious. "Ah Ling, can you tell me why you insisted on having a BBQ here?"
Ji Ling blinked her bright, watery eyes, puzzled, "It's spacious and empty here, close to a water source, no need to worry about fires. Isn't it a perfect BBQ spot?"
Looking at Ji Ling's innocent face, Ji Hua squinted. Had he wronged Ji Ling?
"Since the grill has been swept away, let's just call it a day!" Gu Zhi spoke softly, and when his gaze fell on Ji Ling, it softened. "Lingling, let's head back."
Ji Ling responded with an "Mm," turned around, and was about to leave with Gu Zhi.
